SNSD are your

SNSD is starting to make the radio show rounds promoting their single "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)", and what better show to kick things off than their own leader Taeyeon's ChinChin Radio? The Genie nonagon did some American covers, as K-pop bands are wont to do on these radio shows, with US-born Tiffany & Jessica performing Christina Aguilera's "Genie In A Bottle" (it was inevitable, really), and Taeyeon & Seohyun combining for a vocally powerful rendition of Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me".

It's a good thing that Youtube's video coding made the clip low-quality and a bit out of sync, because many male brains wouldn't be able to handle HQ JeTi telling us to "rub [them] the right way" and that "[their bodies are] saying let's go". The recording also oozes SNSD dork moments, with Sooyoung attempting to pick Tiffany's nose or something at 0:40, and Taeyeon doing some Buzz Lightyear karate-chop action at 2:52.

For this leader (Taeyeon) and maknae (Seohyun) collaboration cover, however, many lament the poor video/audio quality. It seems that despite her dorkiness in the last video, Taeyeon is a Serious George when it comes to singing herself, turning away to fully concentrate on her vocals. Hard to believe that the girl who belts out that note at 3:15 is doing this on the same radio show:

SNSD are your
Kudos to lightning!@soshified for the caps

The girls also performed new single "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" and "Etude" on the show (click for the videos).

@79. hyerimii: wow. if you think that you should always be serious once you turn 20, then I would hate to be your friend. being in your twenties doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. it doesn’t mean you have to keep your composure every second of the day. people who think that the girls must always put an “adult” image must not be in their twenties because most people that age act just the same way as when they were 18. it’s normal.

maknae saranghae! i’m so proud of seororo.
jeti was awesome as per usual.
and really, i shouldn’t be impressed with taeyeon anymore,
i already know how great she is, but still, she never fails to amaze me.
snsd ftw! haters can shut it. n
ot a single person out there should be able to say these girls dont deserve to be in the biz.

I like Gee and other songs but wasn’t particularly impressed with the cover for “Because of You.”.. There were a lot of lisping and mistakes on the lyrics…Maybe they need more practice.

@ 79 hyerimii: Obviously, you know nothing about Taeyeon. Yes, she may be dorky and kid-like at times, but she is leader for a reason. She handles disputes and takes care of her members like how any other leader should. Just because you’re in your 20s doesn’t mean you can’t have fun either. Let the girl be herself.

Great cover by the girls, and I’m more amazed about how Taeyeon and Seohyun’s english has improved ^^

ROFL

who was that kid who said one should be serious just because she’s in her 20s?

 

dear kid, when you grow up many years later, you’re gonna be an outcast because women in their 20s WANT TO HAVE FUN and not be rigid-like serious all the time.

Jessica and Tiffany’s cover of Genie in a Bottle didn’t do the original justice. Tiffany’s too breathy - it annoys the heck out of me. And Jessica’s voice is usually a pitch higher than what she sang.
I am impressed with Taeyeon and Seohyun, though.

It annoys me how it’s always the same 4 singing. Does that mean the others can’t?

@ 79
The girl just turned 20 this year. How exactly are people in their twenties suppose to act? Damn, I must be immature as hell then. Judging from your icon, you should be a Shinee fan. Onew is the same age as Taeyeon and the leader as well. Does he bug you as well? :D

@79: So when you turn 20 you have to start becoming all serious and never have a laugh? When you’re in your 20s (and early 20s and that), you can still have fun. Heck, my parents are in their 40s and they act like they’re in high school. Everybody, no matter how serious they act, are kids on the inside. It’s good to let it show. Besides, Taeyeon’s only 20 (21 in Korean age)... that’s barely an adult.

not really an snsd fan, but these girls CAN sing.
tae and seo’s voices have reallly stabilised out very nicely smile ive have to say that snsd is one of the more talented girl groups out there. i know comparing is a touchy issue with fans, but with the hype of 2ne1 being talented, i have to say that snsd is AS talented by the very least.

 
chukachukachoo's avatar

i don’t see how it gave chills. their singing is okay but that’s 4 out of 9. why don’t they all sing? And the ppl who sang for genie in a bottle (i don’t know their names) have weak vocals compared to the original but taeyeon and the other girl who sang celine dion’s song were good singers (just not chills/goosebumps worthy). SNSD is okay (still miss old kpop days though)...

wow. that was great :D good job girls smile

@79 ... i am 21 and i like to goof around. nothing wrong with having some fun!

Dam, maknae is really good at singing.  The video was out of sync, and I didn’t believe it was her until around 10 seconds later.  Surprised me.

Love Taeyeon. Her voice is overshadowing. Haha..
SNSD fighting!!

damn awesome! my top 2 fav singers in soshi did a duet! oh hell yeah

 
komeri's avatar

taeyeon was fantastic as always!!

You can tell seohyun is really shy, but once she develops a stronger voice, I’m sure taeyeon and seohyun would make a duet thats outta this world :D

I’ve decided that Tae Yeon is my favorite. She’s a great singer, pretty, and cute.

IMHO,,,,,,,,superb performance! ....but still hearing some breathing-sounds, which really rub me the wrong way, ie a bit annoying . This phrase comes from “how someone rubs/strokes a cat/pussy”. A cat/pussy will bite you, if you rub it the wrong way . And we know how painful it is when a cat/pussy bites . Hehe .———————- Taeyeon was being playful/teasing/flirty coz every girl at her age is itching to have a boyfriend, just like you . Wish she will marry Samsung’s boss’s son, if he’s handsome enough . Then, all Snsd fans will have free Samsung electronics, for life . That will make Taeyeon, a real GENIE !

@6 and 54, are you really a fan of 4minute, I thnk you are not. Your dragging their names here makes 4minutes fans in a bad shot. If you are really an avid fans of 4minute don’t put them in a abad situation. For sure both of you are not fans.

This is just my opinion, but I really think that Tiffany has the potential to have a more lead vocalist role (like Taeyeon or Jessica). She has a very pure sounding voice with pretty good range, I just think she lacks control.  But if she can get hold of that, I think she would be a better vocalist than Jessica.  Jessica turns me off sometimes because she sings nasally once in a while.  And Seohyun got sooo much better. There’s so much more power behind her voice now. I like it.  I think people bash these girls because they’re nine pretty faces, but they are LOADED with true talent.

Taeyeon vocals never fail to impress. And glad she is very happy now ! Doing radio shows alone can be a drag at times.

soshifan's avatar

wahhh..leader & maknae collaboration is soooo good…their voices blend with each other so well…
i always know taeyeon singing ability but hear they sing this song make me wanna cry..people should listen to taeyeon high note at 3:14..SO AMAZING….
to whom that said taeyeon should behave maturely, how can you expect 20years old girl act maturely when they just happily goof around with the members..
i likes taeyeon’s dorkiness and she rarely get mad to her members but when she does, no one will dare to say anything…she is true leader..always take care of her members..
taeyeon jjang SNSD jjang..proud to be SONE <3<3<3
